Yes, you've found the correct company (Fine Print New York). We reproduce, restore, reprint, match and duplicate almost any vintage, discontinued, or out of print wallpaper. Whether it's a retro design from the 70's & 80’s or a victorian pattern from a bygone era, we excel at bringing new life to historic designs (Just like your grandmother had in the house growing up).

Fine Print was founded in 2004 by a small group of creative directors. With 10 years experience in marketing, we decided to get into printing in order to have more control over the process. What began as an internal need grew into a billable service on May 18 when Nike became the first of many clients, ranging from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies throughout the world.

While we are readily accessible via phone, chat or email, we no longer hold public meetings at our Manhattan office due to post-pandemic changes in company policy. If you're interested in seeing samples of our materials we will be happy to mail them to you for a nominal fee.

Yes, although the concept of a rush applies differently depending on the product. Poster boards, banners and canvas prints can be produced within 24-48 hours. Anything wallpaper related requires more lead time, and in our experience is usually not a process that should be rushed.

You can pay via ACH, check, or with any Credit/Debit Card, which will cost an additional 3% to cover merchant fees.

We ship and deliver anywhere in the continental US. For more expedited deliveries to anywhere in NYC's 5 boroughs, we provide courier service. All shipments are covered by insurance and will require a signature upon delivery.

PDF is the most common format. We also accept all Photoshop formats (PSD, PSB, TIFF) and vector formats (AI, EPS)

Before we can offer a quote we will need to see the actual wallpaper. It doesn't have to be a high quality photo - a simple snapshot from your mobile phone is enough for us to get an idea of the scope, size and complexity of your unique project.

Recreating wallpaper is a fairly involved process which includes scanning, digital restoration and creativity from a skilled technician, not to mention color matching, printing samples. Projects always vary by complexity and the level of preparedness that each client brings to the table, so turnaround ranges as follows:

Basic Restoration (Few colors, simple design): 2-4 weeks

Moderate Restoration (4-6 colors, detailed artwork): Average 5-7 weeks

Historic Restoration (Match an existing installation): At least 8 weeks for accuracy and color matching

For pricing we always look at:

1. The condition/quality of the original sampleA piece which is damaged, dirty or incomplete will require more design hours than a pristine copy.

2. The number of colors and importance of accurate matching Since each color must be separated, each additional color adds to production time. If color matching is critical, this will also increase the cost as multiple rounds of samples must be printed.

3. Complexity of the designThe size and intricacy of the wallpaper will determine just how difficult it will be for our artists to isolate all the shapes and colors.

The best way for us to evaluate your project is to have a visual sample of what you're trying to replicate, even if it's a quick snapshot from your mobile phone we'll be able to let you know the scope and timeframe of the project.

While we do recommend scanning original samples, wallpapers can also be recreated from a photograph.

You can learn more about this process in our article How to Reproduce Existing Wallpaper Designs

Wallpaper reproduction is when your original samples are in mint condition and very little digital editing is needed to make it into a produciton-quality file.

By contrast, wallpaper restoration refers to cases where the original sample is damaged or dirty, requiring far more hours of photo retouching to remove blemishes.

It depends on the style of wallpaper you are trying to replicate. There are a number of different methods, including digital printing, block printing, screen printing and gravure printing. The more traditional methods can leave a slightly raised texture from the ink, in digital printing, this will replicated with a pre-fabricated paper/substrate with a raised surface. When the digital ink lays down, it can create a similar effect to traditional and more expensive methods of printing.

It's also important to note that, sometimes, due to the age, exposure to environment, condition of the existing wallpaper, or the original manufacturing process, it might can be difficult to match colors exactly. In these cases, we will match the colors as closely as possible to give an overall similar look.

The exception to this is metallic wallpapers. While we can print on metallic materials (gold, silver, copper), our digital presses do not actually print metallic inks/foils.

Regardless of the project specs, it's our company policy never to print any wallpaper without the you seeing a press proof first (a job ticket must be generated). We only go to press when you 100% confirm your custom press proof/sample.

Absolutely! We can modify your patterns, change colors and edit the size or placement of your wallpaper design.

As a digital print shop we do not use metallic inks. That said, we can isolate all metallic elements and assign them a flat color which can then be passed onto a printshop with the capabilities to print metallic inks.

Yes, as long as you provide expressed written permission from the publisher/copyright owner.

Yes you can provide your own, personalized design. We accept PDF, TIFF, PSD formats with a minimum resolution of 200dpi (300dpi for detail critical projects).

We charge by the square foot. Pricing depends on chosen material and availability of stocks. Your level of preparedness for delivering print ready files will also factor into the price. If you want a ballpark estimate for printing cost, send us the measurements of the space you're trying to fill and we'll respond with a quote.

We utilize UV-cured inks which are renowned for their exceptional durability and vibrancy, making them an ideal choice for wallpapers that are meant to stand the test of time.

Merits of UV-Cured Inks:

Durability: UV-cured inks are resistant to fading, ensuring that the wallpaper retains its original color and brilliance for years.

Quick Drying: The inks are instantly cured when exposed to UV light, which means there's no waiting time for the ink to dry. This speeds up the production process.

Eco-Friendly: UV-cured inks release almost no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, making them an environmentally-friendly choice.

Versatility: These inks adhere well to a variety of surfaces, ensuring consistent print quality across different wallpaper materials.

Water and Scratch Resistance: Wallpapers printed with UV-cured inks are resistant to water and minor abrasions, enhancing their longevity.

Limitations of UV-Cured Inks:

Cost: UV-cured inks can be more expensive than traditional inks, which might slightly increase the overall cost of the wallpaper.

Color Limitations: While UV-cured inks offer a wide color gamut, there might be certain specific hues or finishes that are challenging to achieve compared to solvent-based inks.

While UV-cured inks have their limitations, their merits, especially in terms of durability and eco-friendliness, make them the preferred choice for all large format projects at Fine Print.

5-7 dbusiness days, provided that artwork is print ready and our prepress department does not need to intervene. Sometimes this process takes weeks, or even months depending on the responsiveness and timelines of each client. The more prepared you are to get into production, the faster we'll be able to turn it around.

PDF, PSD, PSB, EPS and TIFF files are all suitable. Learn more about preparing digital files for wallpaper

Yes we offer discounts for larger orders. Talk to one of our project managers and they wil let you know how much you can save on your custom wallpaper.

Since our focus is strictly on design and print, we do not offer installation services, nor do we recommend installers. That said, our materials are industry-standard and familiar to most contractors. We will usually send them our official guide on How to Prepare Surfaces for Wallpaper

Absolutely. In fact we can design your wallpaper for you completely from scratch, if you have a clear idea of what you want. We can also take subpar artwork (low resolution, blurry, low-quality) and improve it with our proprietary photo-enhancing process.

We provide traditional, non-adhesive wallpapers made of fabric-backed vinyl available in over 30 different textures. We also offer peel and stick wallpaper for fast/temporary installations.

Size limitations will depend on the stock of wallpaper that you choose, but the general capacity for most rolls is 52" wide by 360" (10 yards) long.

Our wallcovering media is quite durable and has been put through a variety of standardized tests to meet or exceed building code regulations, including fire safety, mold resistance, and VOC emissions.

As long as the wall itself is free of water damage or mold at the time of installation, our wallpaper materials are designed to last, even in the most humid environments.

Basic dirt and stains can be removed with warm water and a mild soap. Start cleaning from the bottom of the wall to the ceiling and then go from the ceiing down when it's time to rinse.

Our Terralon Material contains 31 percent post consumer recycled content. Product contains NO PVC, NO LEAD, NO PLASTICIZERS, NO HEAVY METALS. Contributes to several LEED credits. Terralon can be printed with UV curable, solvent, eco-solvent, or Latex digital inkjet technology. Terralon is also highly “breathable”, meaning that water vapor can transfer freely through the material which aids in the prevention of mold.

For a glossy finish we recommend our Luster Wallpaper. We also carry Matte Wallpaper along with over 30 specialty finishes including Canvas, Leather, Paper, and many more.

We only provide the finishes which are listed on our Materials Page. For custom textures you'll want to reach out to a printshop that provides embossing services for large format prints.

We offer 4 different types of boards:

1. Foamcore / Foamex

A lightweight board made of a polystyrene foam core laminated between two layers of paper or card.

Applications: Ideal for indoor presentations, school projects, and photo mounting. Its lightweight nature makes it easy to handle and display. However, it's best used for short-term applications as it can be prone to denting or warping.

2. Gatorboard

Similar to foamcore but boasts a much stronger and more rigid surface. It's made of a dense inner foam core between two wood-fiber veneers.

Applications: Perfect for long-term indoor displays, trade show exhibits, and mounted photos. It offers greater durability and resistance to moisture compared to foamcore.

3. Coroplast

Coroplast is a corrugated plastic board, often likened to plastic cardboard due to its fluted design.

Applications: It's a go-to for outdoor signage, yard signs, and temporary displays. Coroplast is water-resistant, lightweight, and sturdy, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

4. Sintra

A rigid PVC board, known for its durability and smooth finish.

Applications: It's an excellent choice for outdoor signs, kiosks, and durable displays. Sintra is resistant to warping, denting, and water damage, making it one of the most robust options for long-term use.
